vlc 2.07 how do I run ?

In this case you can force the mjpeg demuxer with :
--demux=mjpeg

how can ?

[Sébastien Escudier]

from command line, add --demux=mjpeg
Or from the Interface go to Media -> open network stream -> show more option and add :demux=mjpeg in the edit option field

Thanks Sébastien Escudier

[bosa60]

files are correctly detected but live input is not auto-detected by ffmpeg, so you must add this option in vlc :
ffmpeg-format=mxg

Apple - QuickTime Format VLC how do I run ?

[rafaware]

http://wiki.videolan.org/MxPEG

I'm testing all the options with VLC 2.1.0 (Linux, Windows, Console, Gui, ...) and there is no way to reproduce a MxPEG streaming from a Mobotix Camera.

When I open the stream, nothing happens in VLC Media Player.

Is it still valid ":ffmpeg-format=mxg" option?

Thanks in advance

[Sébastien Escudier]

what are the logs ?

what are the logs ?

My fault.

Since vlc 2.1 ffmpeg-format became avformat-format.
I am updating the wiki, thanks for the report

[rafaware]

Very grateful

Does the VLC web plugin supports this functionality?

I'm trying:

Code: Select all

var g_Url = "http://ip/control/faststream.jpg?stream=MxPEG&fps=0"; var g_PlayerOptions = "--avformat-format=mxg" var vlc = getVLC(); var vlcid = vlc.playlist.add(g_Url, "", g_PlayerOptions); vlc.playlist.play();

and it doesn't work. If I try with another RTSP stream or MJPEG stream from another camera it works properly

Where can I look at the pluggin's log?

Best Regards

[Sébastien Escudier]

Don't know about the web plugin sorry.

[rafaware]

Where can I find help?

Thanks in advance

[Sébastien Escudier]

create another post to ask for the logs in webplugins

I can view MxPEG video with VLC but am unable to convert/save or stream.

I am running vlc with:
vlc.exe --avformat-format=mxg (and/or) --demux=mxpeg

Please note it wouldn't let me post with too many of anything that looked close to a URL. So "web:/" = "http://" in the log.

This is the input URL (sample):
http://admin:meinsm@192.168.1.3:80/cont ... ream=MxPEG

I can view the camera with this setting but if I try to convert/save or stream it will either not do anything or crash VLC. The output is always 1K and unreadable (if it makes one).

The only option other than the defaults was to set an output file, I took all the other defaults (h.264,MP3).

Has anyone has success with converting/saving or streaming video and audio from the Mobotix cameras?


Here is a the log output from two runs that create a 1KB file and don't display or record anything.

Thanks for any input or suggestions.

- Dan


Please note I changed the pass and IP address in the log and the URL so it would post:

Hello,
VLC should be able to recognize the length of a mxg video?

I'm in the middle of some test and with wmplayer and mxg directshow codec I'm able to see the lenght(1minute), instead vlc shows 23minutes after 10 seconds of playing and obviously is wrong.

Thank you

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

It might be a bug.
